Melt ponds can be seen over western Greenland in this sat pic from the
7th

No need for Steve to make his trip now :-)

That is very interesting. The melt ponds are smaller than I expected
assuming that they are the black dots next to the grey area. Is that
view updated daily on a public site? I would quite like to follow
the melt over the sumer.

Cheers, Alastair.



Images are posted daily and are free to view and download.
Images for that particular area are saved occasionally, not every day.
There is an archive too, and you may find images of the same area in
previous years.

Here is another, better, longer YouTube from Prof. Wadhams:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-qdbICw2f8

He is briefing a prestigous group of Italian scientists. He explains, among
other things, how the loss of the Arctic sea ice is causing the Greenland
Ice Sheet to melt.

Cheers, Alastair.


Wadhams. Wasn't he the nutty professor who predicted all the Arctic sea ice would be gone by 2014?

Do you ever stop wringing your hand Alastair and actually feel embarrassed by these continuously failed prediction of woe and disaster. FFS the Arctic ice is still there

I'll be flying over Greenland in a few hours, en-route from Vancouver to
London. I'll look out the window and report back.

Do you do know what to look for? Melt ponds like these forming in ice from
the North Pole:

Only the Greenland ponds are much larger.

Cheers, Alastair.


Melt ponds on an ice cap is between 1.2 and 2.3 miles thick . are you saying that is all going to melt in the next few weeks ?

Does this wave after wave of tax funded woe ever stop. The green land ice mass balance has been well above the mean all year until just recently where the balance is being adjusted

And now the conspiracy theory comes in.

You know that the moon landings never happened and that 9/11 was a CIA plot too, don't you?
